Now that is a sexy watch. I thought the blue dial one was nice but I like that one even more.

Unless you are about 5-6" and 150lbs, go with the 41mm.

I'd go with a 41. Haven't bought one from Houston but have a reputable dealer a few hours away that I deal with if you would like an introduction. I am going to go by there next week and can let you know what they have. If it's not in the case, it typically takes about 6 weeks to get (from my experience last year).

Try them on and see what you think. Until relatively recently, Rolex Oysters were in the 34-36 range. They have slowly been moving up in size to conform with current trends.

Yeah. I have a vintage Rolex that is 34mm and it feels way different from my daily diver 45mm, but it looks good.

how does one go about getting a nautilus at MSRP? Purely asking for conversational purposes. Same as getting an oin demand rolex at an AD? Get lucky? Get on the list? buy another crazy watch from them and get the opportunity to purchase one? I have been looking at them and have started to become intrigued. I am no where near in the position to buy one, just curious.


Buy an absolute massive number of watches from them to where you're their best customer and they call you when they get allocated one.

I have a wolf winder and I really like it. It's a triple but quality is great.

The story I heard about a guy who got a nautilus at retail went to the jewelry store and gave them 500k for his "account" so he could just go in and get jewelry at his leisure. They would just deduct what he would get from his account.

Crazy sounding I know.. I think it's the world we live in unfortunately. I think someday, just like every industry, the watch industry will take a dive, and that will be the time to buy.

I've actually sold a few of my watches thinking that time is coming near. Hoping to rebuy back when the market crashes.

Yeah not a bad strategy. Market is artificially high. It's kept going up and up it's gotta correct at some point

McQueen TAG sold for $2.2MM and Newman for $5.5MM. Maybe the market softening.

I like the reverso a lot. I don't have one, but it's on my list.

Your link is broken because of the profanity filter.

It just is not a very attractive watch to me. I know that some of my watches people don't like either but it is just waayyyy to busy for my tastes.
This one is growing on me. Defy 21
